  • 1. Purpose of Having Integrated Transport
    Sian Phipps Enterprise and Business Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CF99 1NA email: [email protected] Response by 2nd November 2012 At the Conference on Integrated Transport today(20/09/12) in Cardiff Bay speaking to the representatives at the Assembly stand it was suggested I forward the response on integrated transport that I had recently sent to the Public Transport Users Committee. From Section 3 onwards the responses are based on the questions suggested by the PTUC Extract from Guidelines for views in Integrated Transport:- For the purpose of this study integrated transport is taken to mean consideration of the relationship of different parts of a whole journey experience particularly but not exclusively when such parts are undertaken by different modes of public transport. 1. Purpose of Having Integrated Transport 1.1. It is important to know what is the purpose or reason for wanting integrated transport in the first place. For example :- 1.1.1. Is it to maximise profits for the organisation running a transport operation? 1.1.2. Is it to maximise income / minimise the call on the Public Purse / Treasury? 1.1.3. Is it to maximise the modal shift away from using private cars? 1.1.4. Is it to benefit the wider economy or other social or environmental benefits? 1.1.5. Is it for other reasons? 1.1.6. If it is a combination then which takes precedence? 1.2. Only by having a clear view and understanding of the above issues will the reason(s) / answer(s) define what can and should be done.
